T2000 v1 Small Arms Guide

The Small Arms Guide is a sourcebook for Twilight: 2000 which contains a consolidated listing of every personal firearm in the basic game, as well as additional material of interest to both players and referees.

In response to player requests, the single entry for the generic pistols (such as the 9mmP Auto) of the basic rules has now been expanded to include every major handgun type in use by the year 2000 and encompasses the full sweep of technological change, ranging from the German Luger and "Broomhandle" Mauser pistols of the early 1900s to the advanced materials and technology of the Austrian Glock 17. Also described are weapons not yet in service or just entering service (such as the Ruger P85), and hypothetical extensions of current firearms technology.

Increased coverage of both military and civilian rifles is also presented in the Small Arms Guide. Submachinegun coverage now includes all major types, from the Tornmygun of the 1920s to the most modern suppressed designs, such as the H&K MP5 and Ingram MAC-10.

Each weapon entry contains an illustration of that particular firearm, a few short descriptive remarks, and full details for the incorporation of the weapon into the game. The Small Arms Guide expands the ammunition covered in Twilight: 2000, including the ever-popular .375 and .44 magnum rounds.

The guide also incluaes a consolidated price and equipment listing for all weapon and ammunition types covered in Twilight: 2000. Special essays in the Small Arms Guide cover topics such as reproduction black-powder firearms and the special low-tech autorifle, the M16EZ.

The Small Arms Guide is a valuable resource for both players and referees of Twilight: 2000, and for anyone who has an interest in modern firearms.

I came to T2K relatively late in the game's history and have been playing catch up ever since. This book is a very useful component in any campaign, even if it is a bit long in the tooth. Weapons are listed in alphabetical order by category and [...]

ItÂ´s actually quite hard to rate this book.
First, itÂ´s not really spectacular from todays viewpoint. There rather dry and very short descriptions for the weapons and the artwork isnÂ´t really thrilling either (simple technical linedrawings of [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
